World Car Free Day-September 22


Why can't we take pledge and let's all feel equally responsible for this great noble thought and contribute from our side also.

 

World Car Free Day-September 22

 

 

Every September 22, people from around the world get together in the streets, intersections, and neighbourhood blocks to remind the World that we don't have to accept our car-dominated society.

You too can contribute by adopting following:

Instead of driving alone, you can:
- Use public transportation
- Ride a bike or take a walk, if required
- Carpool or Vanpool
- Work from home

Take the Pledge and Go Car Free .

But we do not want just one day of celebration and then a return to "normal" life. When people get out of their cars, they should stay out of their cars. It is up to us, it is up to our cities, and our governments to help create permanent change to benefit pedestrians, cyclists, and other people who do not drive cars.

Let World Car free Day be a showcase for just how our cities might look like, feel like, and sound like without cars…365 days a year.

As the climate heats up, World Car free Day is the perfect time to take the heat off the planet, and put it on city planners and politicians to give priority to cycling, walking and public transport, instead of to the automobile.

So take the time, browse the links and resources provided, and join in on the celebrations!

You may think that it is not possible in Kuwait to practice Car Free Day….but if you seriously think on options around you…. it is possible….. share your thoughts and how you can contribute ….
